Error: Could not find a suitable provider for ec2_instance : puppet Enterprise 2016.1

[Saurabh Agrahari]

I keep getting error "Could not find a suitable provider for ec2_instance" while running a pp file to create ec2 instance from puppet Enterprise 2016.1 .
Installed version are
Ruby - ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22 revision 43786)
puppet - 4.4.1
puppetlabs-aws (v1.4.0)

gem list --

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

aws-sdk-core (2.3.0)

jmespath (1.2.4)

json_pure (1.8.3)

retries (0.0.5)

I installed aws module using "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin# gem install aws-sdk-core retries". as mentioned in read me.
Everything seems correct configuration, still keep getting the same error. I followed the suggestions given in similar threads but it is not helping
Please advise.

pupeptserver is running it's own ruby by way of JRuby and '/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install' is puppet (the client) agent's ruby.

I'm pretty sure to install gems for pupetserver, you need to do it very differently:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetserver/blob/master/documentation/gems.markdown#installing-and-removing-gems

I hope I'm correct and I hope this helps.

Hi James,

Thanks for your reply.

I am following the below document to configure AWS module 

https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/aws

I could install and see gems (aws-sdk-core) only if I install them from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install location,

and as per this document as well i should install from this location only.

I tried installing from /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppetserver gem install but gem did not get installed.
